Love the green here pramod... Almost a feel of the evergreen forest!

Lover those rich greens. I know how lovely they look in the western ghats' forests especially after rains.
Personally, liked this image more than the previous one you posted. The undulations leading vertically up with interleaved moss look beautiful.
Not so sure about the ULC though.

Loved the greens in the image Pramod. Liked the wet feel of the monsoon as well. Nicely processed. I am not very comfortable with the plant at the bottom. Its presence is certainly important to anchor the view but its not so healthy state is taking a little punch out. But I know u were helpless. Its Nature after all... :)

pramod,awesome shot,the greens look like supermans kryptonite :-).
As stated by ashwini the plant is not in a healthy state,I have a question, is it un ethical to clone out some of the small holes in the leaves?

Prithvi, Talking about ethicality is altogether a debatable topic and I would not want to go too deep in to it. However, to make my stand clear and since you are asking me a question let me write down my personal thought as briefly as possible.

1. I believe every artist/photographer has his/her own yard sticks of ethics and ideologies. I respect everybody's yard stick. Some are documentary photographers, some are aspiring artists, some are visual artists and some are digital artists. At the end of the day, it is still art for the artist who created it.

2. My ideology is - I don't add/remove anything from the scene and I don't clone. It is based on the thought that I was and am not the "creator" and am not that powerful enough to create nature/natural elements. Am here to click what nature has already created :). I must also confess that am very poor at post processing too ( though it is an essential part of (digital) nature photography! )

Coming to this photograph - the inclusion of the plant was intentional and indeed the porous leaves are not in my control, but I felt it looked natural than the *ideal* scenario.

Thanks all for your views!
